Mardi Gras Party Supplies

Mardi Gras can be a wild and fun time to have a party. Traditionally, Mardi Gras is called "Fat Tuesday" because Ash Wednesday is the next day and the beginning of Lent - a time of fasting to prepare for Easter. So, all the stops are pulled and the party is huge! The most well-known celebration is in New Orleans where you see revelers all night long, with parades and sparklers and beads galore! Masks are symbolic, to do those naughty things, unidentified, before following the "straight and narrow". Here is a great link to Mardi Gras Party Supplies. This site has scene setters with classic New Orleans lamps and walls and great silhouettes, like shadows, of jazz musicians and dancers. Find lots of decorations and tableware with sparkling masks and there are a variety of beads - a true classic New Orleans tradition! Purple, yellow and green are perfect colors to match any Mardi Gras decorations and you can find lots of balloons, streamers and solid color tableware here, too. This year, February 24th is the day (and night)! Have a terrific time at your Mardi Gras party!

Hello,
Nice blog i like it
Some ideas to decorate in style include: life size cut outs of famous actresses and actors, movie reel tins centerpieces (type 'movie reel centerpiece' in search), large clapboards that you personalize, 'walk of fame' stars (you could make your own and include family and friends names on them), and of course balloons with a Hollywood theme.

Wonderful items. Sprinkle colorful 'star confetti' on the tables, including the serving tables.
